FOUND: A teenager has been found 6,000 miles away in a satanic cult in a remote part of Peru

Patricia Aguilar disappeared from Alicante last year just after her 18th birthday.

Now Peruvian police have arrested a man accused of heading a cult that kept three women – including the teen – as sexual slaves.

Patricia's relatives claim she was lured to Peru through social media after being contacted by the leader of the “Gnosis” sect.

Cult leader Félix Steven Manrique, who goes by Prince Gurdjeff, claims he has been chosen to repopulate the Earth following the apocalypse, which is why he keeps a harem of women, according to Spanish media.

CULT: The sect leader promised to save them from the end of the world

He reportedly promised to save them from the end of the world, and urged them to leave the family home as soon as they turned 18 in order to join him.

An eight-man team were sent into the jungle to find Patricia and the other women.

Patricia, now 19, was found in a remote part of the jungle with a one-month-old baby.

The cult leader was arrested and charged with human trafficking.

Patricia was found five hours after Manrique’s arrest, inside a house with two other women where she had been placed in charge of five children ages four to 10 – all allegedly fathered by the sect leader.

The children appeared to be suffering from malnutrition, Peruvian authorities said following the rescue operation.

Manrique set up the cult deep in the Amazonian jungle and reportedly never left the house where he held his rituals.

“He would send the women off to work, one of which is currently eight months pregnant,” rescue bosses said.
